Got a call from the #CDC about #vaccinations and wasn't sure if it was real, but it was, so called back the number they left and answered their questions #norc

So much disinformation happens around us in ways that is very very obvious and some not so obvious ways

Robinson concludes,

"To me, the NORC poll shows Americans advancing in the right direction, toward inclusion rather than exclusion. It says most Americans don’t believe they’re living in a dystopia of 'wokeism.' They’re just living in the here and now — not in the discriminatory, exclusionary past."

Re: religion, it's perfectly obvious to many of us that Republicans have seriously tarnished that brand and people naturally now want little to do with it.

Robinson's reading: the poll shows that woke is winning, and Republicans would be well advised to pay attention — but they won't. He notes that the poll finds "that on several hot-button issues related to 'wokeness', substantial majorities of Americans believe our progress toward inclusion and diversity is on the right track."

Those issues include trans people and their rights, the rights of women, and inclusion of racial minorities.

Wall Street Journal recently published an alarmist assessement of the recent NROC poll, which finds that, whereas 62% of Americans said that religion was very important to them in 1998, only 39% say this now. In 1998, 70% of Americans valued patriotism. NORC is reporting now that the figure this year is 38%.

As Eugene Robinson says, there's another way to read NORC's findings than in the alarmist way of the US right.

Yes, important to how the results are framed. But I do trust #UChicago’s #NORC to word the questions, select the sample, and accurately tabulate and report — especially a longitudinal study where the questions don’t change, there’s less room for manipulation.

I did compare Faux/WSJ’s hand-wringing to other interpretations of the same data, just for fun.

And this: A #WSJ #NORC poll found that most #Americans believe that their children's lives will be worse than their own. Four out of five respondents said that the #economy is in a not-so-good or poor state, and nearly half think it will get worse in the next year. <how about #climatecrisis?> https://s.wsj.net/public/resources/documents/WSJ_NORC_Topline_EconQuestionsMarch2023.pdf #FutureGenerations #FinancialStability #banking #FinancialSystem
